The Copper Boy and the Copper Girl

 There's a boy

A copper boy

Stuck in the shadows 

Waiting for love

 

There's a girl

A copper girl

Stuck in the shadows

Waiting for work

How will life work out

For the copper boy

And the copper girl

How with their life turn about

So they may lie

Closer to the sky

 There's a boy

A copper boy

Feeling lonely

Waiting for love

There's a girl

A copper girl

Feeling strung out

Waiting for work

 

Time passes by

For the copper boy and the copper girl

No one finds love, no one finds work

The lay forgotten, forgotten 

Lives lay to rotten 

Too bad for the copper boy and the copper girl

How will life work out

For the copper boy

And the copper girl

How with their life turn about

So they may lie

Closer to the sky

Some things life can't work out

That's the heart

That's the coin

Some lives just don't work out

Like the copper boy

And the copper girl
